    So which one is the correct command '/' or '-'?
    M1330A15 /readgzfile
    or
    M1330A15 -readgzfile

    Hi, I have a legit windows 7 on my m1330 with A15 BIOS installed and I want SLIC 2.1 . If I'll install this modded bios, something will happen to my current OS ? I know, I'll do it on my own risk.

    Of course nothing will happen to existing OS, but if you have legit retail 7 then what for do you need SLIC?

    can someone confirm this will work?

    Question:
    Can I used the bios.gz with Dimension C521? Copy both the bios.gz and C521 latest bios: DMC521-01011.exe to the usb drive, boot with usb drive and use the command - dmc521-01011 /readgzfile. Will this work? I am trying to help a friend and don't want to brick his pc
